CardRunners Announces New Online Poker Instructor Brian Townsend

CHICAGO, IL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 7, 2007 -- Cardrunners.com, one of the premier online
providers for poker training,
recently announced the addition of their newest instructor, blogger, and
co-owner, Brian Townsend.
Townsend, known to the online poker world as sbrugby and aba20, has moved
up through the online poker ranks at an astonishing speed in the last few
years to become one of the top online high stakes cash players.

Townsend's savvy and approach will be a great boost for those looking to
improve and mold their play, especially in 200/400 no limit (NL) and
200/400 pot limit Omaha (PLO), as he is one of the few people in the world
with expertise in these games. Townsend also brings a strong element of
statistical play, which he plans to pass along to CardRunners members.

"I am happy to announce that I have joined the CardRunners team as a lead
instructor. CardRunners has been instrumental in my development as a player
throughout the past year and I have always had a desire to give back to the
poker community," explained Townsend.

Townsend had been planning on joining as an instructor at an online poker school, and was being
recruited by various poker
training sites, but ultimately decided on CardRunners after speaking
with the site's owners, Taylor Caby and Andrew Wiggins. He felt that with
the current state of online poker, serious players need to do everything
they can to stay ahead of the competition, and that CardRunners shares that
philosophy.

"CardRunners was right for me because of their dedication to their players
and the poker community they have built over the past 18 months.
CardRunners is not just a poker
training center, but rather a community of players who all want to
reach their potential without the distractions and negativity that many
other communities contain," he said. "I look forward to spending my time in
the forums and chat room as well as regularly making videos for our
members."

CardRunners members have access to top-rated instructional videos, a private poker forum,
strategy
articles, guest pro instruction, and a community chat room all focused
on improving each player's poker game. CardRunners is teamed up with
Chapman Net Systems Marketing, a national, independent web development and
marketing firm that provides the full spectrum of ethical online and
traditional marketing products and services that businesses need to compete
in today's competitive marketplace.
